Wonderful Collection of Art

As an artist and collector of books (such as Brian Frouds "Faeries") I have found this book a joy to own.The illustrations are beautiful and the text informative.It makes me want to own the original story-books the experts are taken from!This book features work by such artists as: Aubrey Beardsley, William Holman Hunt, John Everett Millais, Arthur Rackham and Kay Nielsen.In Particular people interested in the Pre-Raphaelite movement would enjoy this book.Quite a number of the illustrations are in colour.The "Notes on Illustrators" at the back of the book gives a list of all the (known) books each artist has ever illustrated. Useful indeed if you have a favourite artist you wish to track the works of.I find this book one of my more prized books.I would recommend it to any-one into art, illustration, Pre-Raphaelite style art, or old story books.
